Bonehead Biden

When I listen to Joe Biden speak it irritates me..because he says so many stupid things...and yet no one seems to care...I guess that's why they call him Biden the bumbler...Yet, when Sarah Palin answers a question about what a vice president does...it's no big deal. But when Biden answers the same question, and is TOTALLY wrong....no one flinches.

The media seems to have been covering for Biden for some time. While news stories still talk about Dan Quayle's spelling mistake 18 years later, there has been almost no news coverage of Biden's numerous wacky statements. What if Quayle had said something similar to Biden's recent statement that, "When the stock market crashed (in 1929), Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened.'"

HMMM.....A neat trick given that Herbert Hoover was president in 1929 and no one was watching television.(TV's have been commercially available since the late 1930s, the television set has become a common communications receiver in homes, businesses and institutions, particularly as a source of entertainment and news.)
